I noticed what looks like a tree coral in the background right away. I have added one recently. Yours looks really good, any info on care/problems you have had with this coral?

Its very easy to care for Colt and Carnations . I have a regiment that I use for my LPS, SPS corals and it has taken nicely. I have had no problems with the Colt. It is very hardy.

Daily:
Coral Accel 4tsp.

BiDaily:
Target feed DT's Phytoplankton 2oz. OR ZooMax 20drops to corals and inverts.

Weekly:
Substitute Coral Accel for Micro-Vert 4tsp.
Coral-Vite 4tsp.
Target feed mysis to the meat eating corals & inverts (Torch, Galaxia, Anemone's)

BiWeekly:
Essential Elements 4tsp.
Auto Top-off water mixture of Stress Coat Stronium Molybendium, (DKh Superbuffer OR Kalkwasser depending on calcium levels)

Monthly:
Target feed Mysis shrimp and ZooPlex mixture 20drops. (I target the mysis to the meat eating corals, not to the colt)

With this regiment, it is very important to have adiquate protien skimming and a very well established fuge (My fuge is loaded with Grape Caulerpa Live Rock, and live sand with a 65w 50/50 bulb on 24/7.). My levels are always perfect.

PH 8.2
SG 1.023
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Calcium 480
DKh 180

Thanks for the reply. I can tell by the details you have been doing this for some time, how long have you been in this hobby?

Well, off and on, since I was a kid, but I have only been doing reefs for a few years. I guess being an engineer has one or two advantages. :lol:
